One thing I do understand is just how hard it is to make things work at a professinal level, and I understand just how hard it is to turn it around when there are problems.
I understand also very well what preasure is and how your own head can your worst enemy.
Now the simplistic answer might be along the lines of pointing out that if a player is a pro and earning all that cash, there should be no problems.
Well, it’s never that simple and you certainly ought to understand that.
Is it possible that you might be more interested in seeing your predicitons about Silva coming true?
It’s true taht you did mention some positives, I’ll give you that. But, the overall tone of your report was negitive, if things are working for a guy, why try to shoot him down?

They might not have many Gold Golve caliber guys, but pretty much everyone on the team is above average. They lead the league in defensive efficiancy in 2008, and were 4th last year. In 2008 the team BABIP was .284 and in 2009 it was .291. both significantly lower then the league average.
Now, that’s not to say I think Silva is the second coming of Greg Maddux or anything, and he will definitly regress a bit, but I could easily see him maintain a 3.50-4.00 ERA the rest of the way out, which is not bad at all for a #5 starter.
